On Board with Design

http://sites.northwestern.edu/transportationdesign/

This exhibition draws from examples in the Northwestern University Transportation Library’s special and circulating collections to highlight examples of branding and graphic design in the form of passenger ephemera such as menus, timetables, and ticket envelopes, as well as the annual reports that were published for investors and were equally representative, though less publicly visible, examples of design work. We hope that we will open new avenues of discovery and exploration for our readers, while at the same time highlighting the contributions of some of our generous donors, whose collections are featured in the exhibit.

Visualizing, understanding, and generating new insights into the changing patterns and objectives for these types of travel are the primary motivators of behind Itinera.
